Bug#523942: linux-image-2.6.26-2-s390 will not boot!
I notice that the fix for this bug (div64.c) has finally made it into the official
Debian kernel source code. However, the latest stock kernel, 2.6.26-2-s390, revision
2.6.26-17, still won't boot in my virtual machine under z/VM 5.4.0, running in an IFL LPAR
on a z/890. I still have to build a custom kernel, as described earlier in this problem
log, in order to get a kernel that will work. Either there is a problem with the
way the latest stock kernel was built, or it wasn't built from a copy of the source
that contains the fix, or this divide bug isn't my problem. But when I compile a
custom kernel using kernel-package, using the exact same .config file as the one which
comes with the stock kernel, it works fine. This shouldn't be necessary. What's going
on here? Any ideas?
